Brief Summary

Nursing education is composed of both theoretical and practical training that complement each other. The clinical practice environment for students is quite complex and practical applications are highly variable. Practical application areas do not offer effective and equal opportunities to meet the learning and application goals. There are also problems in theoretical education, and current teaching techniques cannot adequately support students' learning. In nursing education, it is recommended to use different teaching methods that strengthen students' skills. One of these methods is virtual reality simulation, which simulates real-life procedures. The investigators's aim in this project is to reveal the effect of the use of immersive virtual reality on the effectiveness of education in surgical nursing education through nursing care offered for a specific surgical procedure. With the laboratory setup, software tool(s), and the self-sufficient employees being able to use the software, via the capabilities gained through this project, it will be possible to carry out various types of virtual reality training activities by different departments of investigator's university without the need for out-sourcing. The investigators's advanced goal in this project is to transfer the nursing care specific to frequently applied surgical interventions to the immersive virtual reality environment.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Colorectal Surgery Nursing Care Knowledge Assessment Form

  Investigators will use a form to measure participants' knowledge level related to colorectal surgery care. The form includes 20 questions and will be used it several times (before the implementation, two times after the implementation). Evaluation will be made out of 100 points. Higher scores will mean a better outcome.

  one day

• Ostomy Care Skills Observation Form

  Investigators will use a checklist to determine the participants's nursing care skills. Investigators will observe all participants during nursing care with standardized patient. The checklist includes 20 nursing care skills related to ostomy care and will be used before and after the implementation. Evaluation will be made out of 100 points. Higher scores will mean a better outcome.

  one day

• Participant's Clinical Skill Competence Self Evaluation Form

  This form will be used for participants's self-evaluation of skill competence. This form consists of 20 nursing care skills related to postoperative colorectal surgery patient care. It will be used before and after the implementation. Evaluation will be made out of 100 points. Higher scores will mean a better outcome.
